i know roughly how to do it
but never done it
is it hard to do properly or is it worth paying a bit extra for someone else to do it?

take your time... and ask alot of questions, its a lot easier than most would have you believe, i did use my local engineers for any accurate measuring and stuff though, i guess i'll know before long if i put it together properly (and buy a hayne, if you haven't already)

its very straight forward....
Just strip everything down....
Put parts into labled bags (numbering valves etc so you put it together in the right sequence)
Replace anything that is worn outwith tolerances or is visably 'had it'
WHY is it needing a rebuild?
Maybe just replace
piston rings (re hone the bores)
big end bearings
stem seals
gasket set (metal HG)

Better lifters  why? If you need solid, go solid..... if you dont, just clean your lifters if they are ok
